A miraculous recovery of the tree, that tree that every day dried up a little more, seems to announce that Almahue will finally be able to continue his story in peace and tranquility. However, a mysterious stranger appears in the picture and there is something about her that is tremendously disturbing. Perhaps the time has come for Rayen to take revenge. She is eager to take action.... Will she be able to destroy Almahue to keep the promise she made many, many years ago in front of the church where Ernesto betrayed his promise to love her until the end of time? Will she also end the love story between Angela and Fabian?" -- Translation provided by NLSEl árbol de la vida (Trilogía del Malamor #03)

its hapless inhabitants, condemned to suffer from the curse of Malamor. With the village destroyed by a devastating earthquake and Fabián at the bottom of the earth, Ángela will go underground because she has decided that, although her life will be spent trying to rescue her lover from the bottom of the earth, she will never again allow disgrace or misfortune to separate them. Perhaps times have changed and that tree in the center of Almahue's square, a symbol of bad love, now lies as a corpse of branches and roots as dry as the sands of a desert. That can only herald a transformation, the end of an era. The time has also come for explanations, and Rosa will reveal something of that past that she jealously guards: a new legend. And Angela will have to find the strength to confront Rayén and the Decapitator in a journey through time and Chilean geography." -- Translation provided by NLSHacia el fin del mundo (Trilogía del Malamor #01)
